* Don't wear a Scooby Doo.
* Do take advantage of lovely solid colored ties.
* Don't assume that a Windsor Knot works with everything.
* Do use the length of the tie and the shape of your face to determine what knot you'll use. Remember, the more complicated the knot, the longer the tie needs to be to reach the belt line.
* Don't wear just any tie with just any jacket.
* Do measure your tie to your jacket. The widest part of the tie should be equal to the widest part point of the lapels.
